"Sir Francis didn't make two model ships. He made three. Three ships for three sons!" "Excellent!"

Okay, well, today I'm going to try and take place in a blog fest put on by Alex at Alex J Cavanaugh. He's an author, and a very nice fellow who always leaves me some of my favourite comments.

However, before I try my hand at this I must say, that my last post, you all broke my comment record of nine! So, THANKS 8-D You've really made for a grand weekend for me. I was happy with ten, but you all left me fourteen comments! You're grand. And I have two followers who don't have blogs. This makes me happy, but I wanted to let you two know. I will always answer your comments in the posts you comment on (that way you can find them easier.) Thanks to both of you by the way! It was fun getting an Anonymous comment that wasn't spam.

This is hard. But most of the movies I like are adventure. It is probably a tie between Science Fiction and Adventure, but one can never pass up a good treasure hunt, run away from the jewel thieves movie.

Second, Music Genre.

Whatever Josh Groban is. His music I can listen to for all moods and all writing. And it is grand to put on while walking about on a crisp fall day with leaves falling off of trees.

His geeky glasses make my sister and I smile.

Third, Book Genre.

This is a tie (naughty I know.) But it is between adventure and Steampunk, which is pretty much what I write.

Four, List a guilty pleasure from one of the four. I'm not sure what this one means...but I will give it my best shot.

Let's do movies. I think it would be the fact that I like those dorky movies everyone else hates. The dorkier they are, the more I love them. (Sky Captain. Get Smart, TV Show. Clash of the Titans.) But those aren't in the genre I picked, except for Sky Captain. Um...oh! Sometimes I like Adventure, romantic movies. Not often, but some. Maybe this is a guilty pleasure. Or...maybe the battles. This could be guilty, because one shouldn't like battles, but I like a good battle at the end of all stories. Or chases, like in Tintin...

Anyhow, I hope I did this right. It was fun! And if you all don't follow Alex already you should. He always has great posts and he's nice, so that's a double...plus? However one says that.

Also, before I go, because this is me, I have to share what my brother shared with me. (And you wondered where I got my weirdness about the fingers.) Apparently, your brain isn't solid in your head. Like, whenever you move your head, your brain sloshes around. (Try not to think about this too much, it's given me a headache.) Also, THANK YOU! All of you! For not biting your fingers off!!

I don't know about the brain sloshing about... But I do know that if you have Chiari Malformation (a medical condition some people are born with) your brain fluid goes down your spinal chord and gets stuc down there. Unless you get brain surgery, you lose funtions like motor control and bladder control. I think it eventually kills you if you don't get medical treatment... The symptoms are massive headaches and some other stuff... Also it can cause scoliosis (curvature of the spine).I know this because my friend had it. She's all better though, after brain surgery. =)

You're welcome for not dying. It would have been sad if I had choked on my toothbrush.

I do like series 2 of Doctor Who! Plus I found out that this boy in my youth group loves Doctor Who as well! So now I can talk to him about it... So far I like series 1 of Doctor Who a bit better I think. However the episode "The Idiot's Lantern" from season 2 is one of my absolute favorite episodes that I've seen so far. It's tied with "The Doctor Dances."Plus David Tennant's hair and his trench coat rock.

I think that every homeschooled person goes through a dinosaur faze sometime in their life.

The first episode of Star Trek Animated was alright... Typical Star Trek I must say. And the alien talks SO weird! Really low. It's funny. The animation isn't very good and the episodes are only 24 minutes long. But they are still good! Watch it if you are a fan of the original and if you have time. =)

Just watched Sky Captain last night and I have to say it was pretty awesome!! =)

She used her last shot to take a picture of him and she left the lens cap on.....I just about died!

I loved the style they filmed it in, very cool and retro, and this may be my favorite Angelia Jolie roll ever! (I am a secret fan of he Tomb Raider movies, shh, don't tell, or I might have my girl card revoked for liking such a guy movie.....)

Hello fellow Tintin fan. *Shakes hand.* I can see you have a good taste in movies. Also aye, Josh Groban is fantastic, adn that IS a fantastic word 8-D Only, sadly, not as fantastic when not said with a Northern British accent, which I even more sadly do not have. Do you?

Aye, Doctor Who can be scary. My sister and I huddled on her bed the first and second season, with the lights on. I think we've adjusted, or something, since then. But yeah, definitely not a, "Watch alone in a dark room" kind of show.

HURRAY for liking Tintin!!!!! I always feel happy when I find fellow Tintin fans. They are so few and far between in the States.

Sherlock is cool too and YES! You like Star Trek 8-D Star Trek fans are rare as well. Which is sad. I mean, the old Star Trek show fans are rare. New movie, not as rare.

You know, I've been hearing a lot about steampunk lately and now that I actually know of a book that is an example of steampunk I will be sure to check it out. Goliath is now on my reading list thanks to you.And yes, having followers that don't have blogs IS fun.

Oh yes, LOVE adventure movies. I like sci-fi too, but only certain kinds (Star Wars, Star Trek and some Stargate SG-1). I have yet to see any Doctor Who. I'm planning on it but I've been waiting until my life slows down. (HA! That'll be never!) But, hopefully later this fall or early this winter. Who is your favorite Doctor?

Tintin is terrific!!!!! I haven't seen the movie yet, but my siblings ad I adore the comic books.

I've never heard Josh Groban. A lot of people seem to like him though, so I might have to check him out.

Interesting about the brain. Although I have to ask, is your brother studying to become a medical scientist? :)

Allons-y!

1st. thank you for shaking my hand. I swear I'm not holding a weapon. 2nd; sadly I don't have a nothern British accent. But When I say "fantastic" I say in my best Christopher Eccleston impersonation, so I "put on" an accent. not as good as The Doctors but it will have to do. :) God bless~Allons-y!~Bella

Just wanted to say hi...I'm working my way through the bloghop list. :)I LOVE Josh Grobin and I've recently been getting into steampunk. Very cool. Although I haven't read much of it yet. I did, however, love His Dark Materials long before everyone started liking steampunk. :)

Hey Jack; I re-read this post... I do that sometimes :) Did I tell you I saw Josh Groban IN CONCERT? It was fantatstic!!! it's been more than a year now but I still remember that night vividly. We were on ground level. He walked RIGHT PAST US!! it was so awesome. Just thought I'd share that with you, to cheer ya' up. get well soon, and God Bless~~Allons-y!~~Bella
